While Antwerp's victory against Jefferson wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Archers narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Wildcats 4-3. While the Archers didn't have the best season last year (they finished 7-9), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Elle Clem spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on eight hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one walk any time she's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Caroline Rohrs was incredible, going 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in May of 2024. Kailey McCoy also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
